proud of his Branch line he thinks it's

the most important part of the whole

Railway his two coaches Annie and

clarabel agree with

him Annie can only take passengers but

Caravel can take passengers baggage and

the

[Music]

conductor they are both old and need new

paint but Thomas loves them very

[Music]

much as they run backwards and forward

WS along the line they sing songs to

each other when Thomas starts from a

station he sings Oh Come Along we're

rather late Oh Come Along we're all the

late and the coaches sing we're coming

along we're coming

along they don't mind what Thomas says

to them because they know he is trying

to please their Topham hat and they know

too that if Thomas is cross he's not

cross with

[Music]

them one day they had to wait for

Henry's train which made Thomas very

cross how can I run my line properly if

Henry is always late he doesn't realize

that sir topam hat depends on me Thomas

whistled

impatiently he wanted to leave but he

had to wait for Henry's

passengers at last Henry

came

where have you been lazy bones asked

Thomas oh dear my system is out of order

no one understands my case you don't

know what I suffer moaned Henry rubbish

said Thomas you're too slow you need

exercise

the conductor blew his whistle and

Thomas started so quickly that he left

him behind the conductor waved his red

flag to stop Thomas but he was well on

his way steaming out of the

station Come Along come along puff

Thomas but clarabel didn't want to come

I've lost my nice conductor I've lost my

nice conductor she sobbed an he tried to

tell Thomas what had happened we

conductor but he was hurrying and

wouldn't listen Annie and clarabel tried

to put on their brakes but they couldn't

without the conductor where at our

conductor where is our conductor they

cried but Thomas didn't stop till they

came to a

[Music]

signal bother that signal said Thomas

conductor will tell us in a

minute they waited and waited but the

conductor didn't come Peep Peep Peep

was running as fast as he could along

the line with his Flags in one hand and

[Music]

[Music]

day

see there's too many good things in life

to let one thing spoil your fun for too

long like my granny used to say when the

only thing on your face is a frown just

her not brown right upside

down

what time is

it it's 5 minutes before the hour

precisely I knew it Grandpa's never

going to make it and we're never going

to go fish you wouldn't be the first

Thomas had his eye on that particular

activity recently he wanted to go

fishing as much as you do Thomas is a

train engine that's what the other

engine said but why should that that

stop him I had better tell you the

[Music]

story when Thomas pupped along his

Branch line he always looked forward to

something

[Music]

special the sight of the

river as he rumbled over the bridge he

would see people

fishing Thomas often wanted to stay and

watch but his driver said no what would

the top of hat if we were

late every time he met another engine he

would say I want to fish but they all

had the same answer engines don't go

fishing silly stick in the muds thought

Thomas one day he stopped as usual to

take him water at the station by the

river out of order bother said Thomas

I'm

thirsty never mind said his driver we'll

get some water from the

[Music]

River they found a bucket in some rope

and went to the

[Music]

bridge then the driver let the bucket

down to the water the bucket was old and

had five holes so they had to fill it

pull it up and entty into Thomas's tank

as quickly as they could several times

over

they finished at last that's good that's

good puff Thomas and Annie and clell ran

happily

behind

suddenly Thomas began to feel a pain in

his boiler steam began to hiss from his

safety valve in an alarming way there's

too much steam said his driver oh dear

groan Thomas I'm going to burst I'm

going to

burst they damped down his fire and

struggled on I've got such a pain I've

got such a pain Thomas

hissed

they stopped just outside the last

station uncoupled Annie and clarabel and

ran Thomas who was still hissing fit to

burst on a siding right out of the

[Music]

way then while the conductor telephoned

for an engine inspector the driver found

notices and large letters which he hung

on Thomas in front and behind danger

keep

away soon the inspector and Sir Topham

hat arrived cheer up Thomas they said

we'll soon put you right the driver told

them what had happened so the feed pipe

is blocked said the inspector I'll just

look in the

tanks he climbed up and peered in then

he came down excuse me sir please look

in the tank and tell me what you see

certainly inspector replied Sir Topham

hat he clambered up looked in and nearly

fell off in

Surprise inspector he

whispered can you see

Fish gracious goodness me how did the

fish get there driver we must have

fished them from the river with our

bucket replied Thomas's driver well

Thomas so you and your driver have been

fishing but fish don't suit you we must

get them

out they all took turns at fishing in

Thomas's tank whil sir top of hat looked

on and told them how to do it when they

had caught all the fish they had a

lovely picnic supper of fish and

chips M that was good said Sir Topham

hat but fish don't suit you Thomas so

you mustn't do it again no sir I won't

said Thomas sadly and engines don't go

fishing it's too

[Music]

uncomfortable at least Thomas had a

chance to

fish we're going to be stuck here what

time is it it's 5 minutes later than

earlier I knew Grandpa would make it and

we're never going to go fishing what

happened to all your faith in Harry and

where's your hope what's the good of

hoping for something when you know it

isn't going to happen how do you know
